Tobacco, "Perique"

This rare tobacco variety comes from New Orleans where it was bred from the tobacco and was originally grown by the Native Americans of the region. It is an extremely strong tobacco, which after a long fermentation process is very dark colored. This heirloom is a unique treasure, easy to save seed from as long as it is isolated. Can grow to 8 feet in a hot sunny garden with fertile soil. All tobacco plants are so beautiful and stately in the herbscape. Annual.
